Why Can't We Return?

Saturday morning
back in the day
Children's television
in it's heyday.
Cartoons and conjunctions
ruled the airwaves.
Why can't we
return to those days?

Red Rover came over
and lights switched red to green.
Laughing children could often
be seen.
Streetlights came on.
Fireflies were chased.
Why can't we return
to that happy place?

Stories were read
not digitally downloaded.
Imaginations created
until they exploded.
Forts were made
and people played
games in the same room.
Why can't we return
to where these memories bloom?
